The President has the right to make forty appointments at large. The host literary address Senator Bacon ever made was in 1881 or 1882. nt the commencement of Emory Col lege, Oxford. Ga. I remember that he was highly congratulated on his ora tion, and the press paid him many compliments. At that time he was a candidate for Governor, his opponent being Alexander H. Stephens, the old Commoner having been brought into the race by certain of Mr. Bacon's po litical opponents as the only man who might ho able to defeat Mr. Bacon at that time. It may be of some interest to note that, as in the ca; Bacon, the best literary address ever delivered by Mr. Stephens was at the commencement of Emory College, July 21. 1S52, before the Few and Phi Gamma, societies, the same before minated in 1871 in the organization in New York of the flrst professional as sociation known* in tho game’s history, viz.. “The National Assoc'ation of Pro fessional Baseball Players.” and then it was that profess'inai baseball began its permanent establishment. And, as Editor Chadwick says, It will be seen, therefore, that while Cincinnati was the birthplace of professional baseball. New York was its flrst home. From 1871 to October. 1875. a corrupt condition of things existed In the pro fessional baseball business. It devel oped that the professional players could not play the game and at the same time properly govern a national association. Editor Chndwieh explains ■»»_ this by saying that the officials of some , , ,. - ... , of the clubs opened the doors to the ™ ents concerning the Savannah in pool gamblers who sold on the games.

NEW YORK, April 4.—The cotton mar ket was active and showed continued steadiness, with the close steady at a net advance of 5a8 points. Sales for tho day were estimated at 16 000 bales. The opening was steady at unchanged prices to an advance of 2 points, the gains being on the near positions, which were influenced by rather higher cables than expected and which were relatively active, while the new crop months felt the effects cf predictions for further rains in the Southwest. Leading brokers were buying on the call, particularly July, and the market worked up several points right after the opening, on the light esti mates for tomorrow's receipts at Hous ton and continued firm cables from the English market, where Egypt and the continent were said to be buying. After showing a net gain of about 5aS points there was enough realizing to cause a slight recession, but tho market finned up again in the early afternoon on the ex ports and reports of a better spot demand. Prices at one time were 9 to 12 points net higher. The close was a little off from the best under relaizing. Business was a little more general than recently, but it was thought that the demand came chicflv from the bull in terests and scattering shorts. South ern spot markets were unohanged to 1-lGc. higher. Exports for the day were about 5,000 bales in excess of the port receipts. Receipts of cotton at the ports today were 16,384 bales against 21.9Q3 bales last week, and 15.912 bales last year. For the week (estimated) 125,000 bales against 147 231 bales last week and 113,935 bales last year. Today’s recelots at New Orleans were 2.652 bales against 4.416 bales last year, and at Houston 4,080 bales against 3.483 bales last year. Spot Cotton and Futures. NEW YORK. April 4.—Spot cotton closed quiet. 8 points higher: middling uplands 11; middling gulf 11.25; sales 31 bales. Futures closed steady at the following quotations: ment but there can be no doubt that tho changed face of the money prospect lay at the root of the more cheerful sen timent expressed by the rise in prices. Undoubtedly tho relief measures adopted by the Treasury were deciding factors in averting the expected April 1 crisis. Wednesday’s Imperial Bank of Germany statement and today's Bank ef France statement are sufficient evi dence of the strrrs of the situation. The Paris market expres ed its belief today that the back rate of discount had not been raised to 4 per cent. The collapse in money rates clears up one of the dark est clouds on the financial horizon and is of vast sentimental influence in dis persing th" deep impression recently hanging over tho securities market. Large importance was attached in the day’s improvement to the reports from Chicago that a settlement had been reached of the wage dispute of Western railroads. Southern Pacific's very strong showing of net earnings for February helped that stock and Union Pacific ns well, and there wn3 sympathetic effect on tho whole market. The iate market showed the usual effig;/ of profit-talting on so considerable a day's rise, hut the gains were quite well main tained.

They had been arrested, he said, because they violated the Georgia con tract labor law of 1903 against cheating and swindling.
